You may have seen me teasing a new collaboration with Ela Handbags on Instagram over the last few months and today, I am SO excited to announce that my new collection with Ela is launching on May 29th!!!! After the huge success of our first collection, we knew that we needed to bring you some new styles and colourways!
Ela Handbags is a Canadian, woman-owned brand that I absolutely love, so I am super proud to be working with them again! The products in this collection are inspired by my love of travel and pops of colour, and it was important to me to create products that are both stylish and functional.
This entire collection is vegan, ethically made, sustainable and Canadian-designed. We have everything from tote bags to backpacks, cosmetic bags, purses, and some BRAND NEW styles. They’re all available in the cutest colourways and patterns that I know you’re going to love.
Each and every product in this collection is crafted sustainably from recycled nylon material, and the interior linings are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles… which is something I’m so proud of. Now let’s get into the collection details!
*NEW* Duffle Bag
$148
One of my favourite products in this collection is this duffle bag that comes in pink and black! When I travel, I love to pack an empty duffle bag so I can use it to pack all of my shopping from the trip, or my dirty laundry! It’s crafted from durable material and has a convenient back zipper pocket that converts into a trolley sleeve so it fits over your luggage handle! The side snaps allow you to expand the size if needed, which is a feature that I love.
*NEW* Frame Clutch
$88
I’m so obsessed with how this style turned out! A frame clutch is a closet staple, and the nylon material makes this one easy to dress up OR down. Available in pink and black, this structured frame features a quilted slouchy shape and a detachable metal chain, making it the perfect two-in-one!
Crossbody Bag
Regular $68 | *NEW* Large $78
The Crossbody Bag we originally launched sold out THREE times back to back, it’s safe to say that this is the fan-fave of the JH x Ela styles. This bag is ideal for running errands, picking the kids up from school, date night and travelling! It’s now available in the regular size PLUS a new, larger size. I’ve been wearing this one non-stop.
Backpack
$110
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen this backpack a few times… It’s been my go-to for when I need a hands-free travel bag. From hopping on an airplane or running into the office, and everything in between, this bag is perfect. It’s both stylish and functional, with a compartment for your laptop, a pass-through slit for your suitcase handle and a water bottle pocket! This style comes in our new super cute, pink colourway.
*NEW* Kids Backpack
$78
Ever since I started working with Ela, I’ve been dreaming of adding kids’ products to the lineup, and I’m so excited to announce that we made it happen! These styles are made with the same quilted nylon fabric that you love, but in a functional style perfect for your kiddos! What I love most is the matching moment with the adult version of the backpack, but with a fun colour blocking twist. This backpack has ALL the pockets your little ones will need and padded straps for those heavier school or travel days.
*NEW* Kids Fanny Pack
$55
We had to make a matching little fanny pack to go with the backpack! Whenever we’re travelling, we love having the kids wear these. They can carry their own snacks and toys, plus we always put an AirTag in their fanny pack for peace of mind.
*NEW* Kids Travel Case
$38
I love this little travel case for keeping the kids’ backpacks organized! It’s perfect for storing snacks, charging cords and toys. You can also use it for a pencil case or as a packing case, it’s super versatile and functional!
*NEW SIZE* Everyday Tote
$110
This tote was such a huge hit in our first collection, we knew we had to bring it back, this time in a new size! This size is a merge between the original Everyday Tote and the XL Travel Tote, making it perfect for life on the go. This one-and-done tote is the ultimate everyday bag! It is super transitional; you can use it for work, school, travel, as a diaper bag, you name it! Two features that I LOVE are the interior key leash (so you’ll never lose your keys again) and the back zipper pocket that converts into a trolley sleeve so it fits over your luggage handle – how genius is that?!
Available in two prints – the Rainbow Gingham and Cream/Blue Stripe, plus the gorgeous pink colourway!
Zipped Travel Case
$55
You know how much I LOVE organization, so this handy case is a must-have travel accessory for me. This case is the perfect place for chargers, converters, medicine, bandaids… and everything else that usually ends up at the bottom of your purse after a long travel day! Designed with lots of convenient pockets and a bright interior, so it’s easy to spot everything! This existing style comes in the new pink colourway and it’s also available in black.
*NEW* Mini Cosmetic Case
$38
This new mini cosmetic case is the perfect travel bag to keep in your carry-on or your everyday purse. I love to use it for storing lipstick, small makeup products and anything else you need on the go! This adorable style is available in the fun Rainbow Gingham and Cream/Blue Stripe.
Cosmetic Case (2 sizes)
Regular $43 | Oversized $48
This cosmetic case was designed in two sizes to organize your day-to-day items, especially when travelling! I would use the oversized one for shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, those larger types of items. The smaller one is perfect for all of my everyday makeup. The base is constructed so that it won’t tip over, and there is even a loop to keep all of your hair elastics on!! They’re both available in the new pink colourway.
Well, there it is, my NEW collaboration with Ela Handbags! This project has been such a labour of love and I’m so thrilled to finally share it with you. Launching on May 29th at 8am PST – mark your calendars!
